Montgomery Sibley is the former attorney for notorious D.C. madam Deborah Jeane Palfrey. The lawyer (pictured here with the madam in 2007) has been demanding that his former client's phone records be released by the U.S. Supreme Court because the information "could be relevant" to the 2016 presidential election! Now he's naming some of the rich and powerful people who contacted Deborah Jeane!

Sibley has shaken up political big-wigs with a court filing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia — where he names 174 organizations where individuals reached out to Deborah Jeane about providing high-ranked hookers!

Washington is buzzing as insiders speculate who the customers were in places like the Department of Health and Human Services, the FBI, and the Internal Revenue Service. Sibley has even claimed that the madam had customers in the Archdiocese of Washington!

The ENQUIRER had the inside story on Deborah Jeane's mysterious death in 2008. Her body was found at her mother's home, and police said that the death by hanging was suicide. But insiders told The ENQUIRER that she was likely murdered by a powerful client whose life would be ruined if she exposed him!

Her arrest had already shamed one rising political star — with U.S. Senator David Vitter (pictured) admitting to having been a client of Deborah Jeane's escort service. The family-values crusader from Louisiana has managed to remain in office despite embarrassing rumors that he had hired the D.C. call girls to fulfill a diaper fetish.

Deborah Jeane spent 18 months in prison after being convicted of operating a prostitution service in 1991. She had made more than $2 million from her Washington, D. C., call girl ring — but had moved in with her mother (pictured) out of financial desperation. Just days before she was found hanging from a nylon rope, Deborah Jeane was so broke that she couldn't afford to pay $5 for having copies made of documents.

Police used Deborah Jeane's financial woes to conclude the 52-year-old had hanged herself. But in the power corridors of Washington, D. C. — where Deborah Jeane's clients included a U. S. senator, a deputy secretary of state, military bigwigs, and wealthy businessmen — insiders were insisting that the madam was murdered!

"There were undoubtedly men involved with Palfrey's call girls whose names didn't come out in her 'little black book,'" former D. C. homicide detective Rod Wheeler told The ENQUIRER. "And the fact that Palfrey had recently been convicted suddenly made her more dangerous — she had nothing to lose by singing out those names!"

Deborah Jeane had been convicted of money laundering and racketeering. Sentencing was set for that coming July 24, and she faced a maximum 55 years in prison. Sibley had previously claimed that he had documents naming 815 of Deborah Jeane's former clients.

Sibley has been silenced by a restraining order filed in 2007, though — and is unable to say anything about the papers in his possession. “This is where I walk a fine line,” Sibley told the Washington Post. “I don’t want to say something that would violate the order.”

Sibley is now fighting to have Verizon Wireless reveal the names behind the 5,902 phone numbers taken from the "black book" of the dead madam. “Time is of the essence,” he said in his filing this February, citing the 2016 presidential election. Sibley says that protecting the names of Deborah Jeane's clients “deprives the People of the information they may deem material to the exercise of their electoral franchise.”

Several major figures in the current election were in Washington during Deborah Jeane's long stint as a madam — with her career covering the Clinton administration and the start of George W. Bush's presidency.

Former Chief Judge Richard Roberts (pictured) denied one of Sibley's petitions earlier this year. He abruptly retired on March 17 for "health reasons" on the same day that a lawsuit was filed claiming the judge once had a “predatory sexual relationship” with a 16-year-old girl. Roberts' attorneys confirmed the affair happened in a statement, and said that "Roberts acknowledges that the relationship was indeed a bad lapse in judgment." They added that the "relationship was entirely consensual."
